Kristin Schaefer Schiumo, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist

I believe that true and lasting healing comes from a willingness to deeply experience and explore the emotions related to your present and past experiences. Unexamined feelings tend to lead to painful and unwanted symptoms. By understanding and experiencing your feelings and emotions, you will be able to grieve. In this case, grieving is the letting go of emotion, which then makes room for new, positive and effective emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I believe that therapy is not magic e or a quick fix, but is a process that requires work, faith and commitment. This journey includes a number of approaches, which may include challenging negative or self-sabotaging beliefs or learning relaxation or mindfulness strategies. It is a wonderful process...(view profile to read more)

Bennett Pologe, Ph.D.

Psychologist

A psychologist is trained and specializes in human feeling, human communication, what goes wrong with these, and how we can fix what goes wrong. Only someone with a Ph.D or Psy.D in psychology (typically 5 years of graduate school) followed by a year or two of post-doctoral supervised experience and then a (passed!) licensing exam can identify themselves as a psychologist. Of the various kinds of counselors, psychologists typically have the most and broadest training in the many facets of human emotional/psychological issues, especially in psychotherapy. If you don't have specific reasons to see a particular counselor of another type, it would probably be wise to start with a psychologist to be sure you're considering all possibilities as you assess what's going on.

Carolyn AlRoy, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

My approach is mainly psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, which addresses mental and emotional blocks, which we will identify in the first three sessions. I sometimes use other techniques: interpersonal, which involves a focus on relationships and uses the relationship with the therapist to gain insight. I also appreciate cognitive therapy, with it's emphasis on measuring and identifying progress, which can be clarifying and encouraging in short or long term therapy. I provide a gentle supportive approach that is tailored to your personality and needs. It is often most difficult to focus on the things that we don't like about ourselves - although if we can do that, change is possible.
